October 6 – Sam Rose running in the 2019 Loch Ness Marathon in Scotland. This race raises money to support the Bod of Gremista Shetland Textile Museum. The museum is dedicated to the history of weaving and textile heritage in Shetland. It differs from the Shetland Museum & Archives in that not only is it a community museum dedicated to the textiles of the islands, but it also fosters and promotes fiber skills versus being just a repository.
